Adobe Reader 2 for mobile device cannot read some pdf's

I have an IPAQ 211 handheld and am using Adobe Reader version2. It reads most pdf's, but some produce an error message and shows only blank pages. Here is the message: "Unknown filter. Some content cannot be displayed". Any ideas? I can read these in Adobe Reader 7.0 on my desktop, but not on my handheld.
Thanks for any suggestions,
PJ

Have you tried the same on a different browser ? Are you able to open and read pdf documents saved on your computer locally ?

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

When will Adobe Reader for Mobile Devices support 3D PDF files?

There are two basic varieties of LiveCycle XFA...Static XFA and Dynamic XFA, which are very different in terms of their future for potential support in Adobe Reader for iOS. Which variety of XFA are you using?
Static XFA uses the PDF markup language for content and form fields, so users can view the documents in Adobe Reader for iOS, but we currently do not properly handle filling, saving, and submitting those forms. I have improving our handling of Static XFA on my roadmap, but cannot offer any specific date yet (sorry, policy plus actual uncertainty). I know that there are some other apps that partially support Static XFA, though I do not know how complete their support is. If you can even open the XFA document in Adobe Reader for iOS, it is likely Static XFA.
Dynamic XFA is effectively a JavaScript application packaged inside a PDF wrapper, which generates layout and form fields via code and requires a significant engine to support this. Support for Dynamic XFA is unfortunately not currently on our roadmap for iOS due to the nature of the technology, and our concern that any implementation we try likely will not pass Apple's restriction against installing something that allows other "apps" to be downloaded and executed from within it. The LiveCycle team is exploring solutions for our enterprise customers wanting to use Dynamic XFA from mobile devices as part of their server offering, but I cannot offer any insight here. To my knowledge, there are no applications that handle Dynamic XFA other than Adobe Reader for the desktop platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Adobe AIR for Mobile Devices?

Hi,
I was just recently asked whether there is a project for developing Adobe AIR for mobile devices?
This would be really exciting as you could develop your own projects for mobile devices as well as desktop computers...
Any ideas?

It is possible. The thing is Apple won't let developers put their AIR apps into Apple's iTunes store.

Adobe Reader for Windows Phone cannot open older PDF versions?

I've found that Adobe Reader for Windows Phone displays the following error when I try to open certain PDF documents: "There was an error opening the document".
After doing some limited testing I found that it can successfully open PDF documents which were saved as "PDF version: 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)", but the error appears when it tries to open documents saved as the older format "PDF version: 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x)". (I am checking the filetype version by opening the documents in Adobe Reader X on my PC and looking at the document properties).
My phone is a HTC 7 Mozart running Windows Phone 7.5. I noticed the problem when I was using the SkyDrive app to try and look at some PDF files I have saved in SkyDrive. SkyDrive downloads the file and then passes it to the Adobe Reader app to view. It works when I look at a newer version 1.5 PDF but not the older v1.3 type. Unfortunately my HP Photosmart 5510 scanner outputs scans as PDF files and only in the older file version.
I've tried reinstalling the SkyDrive app and the Adobe Reader app on my phone. (The Adobe Reader app is version 10.1.1, build 20120919).
Is this a known limitation, or is this a bug?
If this is a limitation that won't be fixed - is there an easy way I can convert my files to the newer file type? (Adobe Reader X on my PC doesn't seem to offer a way to convert existing files)
Thanks!

Can I play embedded video in Adobe Reader for mobile device (android tablet)?

I have created a PDF file using adobe xi pro and embedded a video in the file. When I move the file in my tablet (andorid jelley bin) and try to run the video file using mobile Adobe reader nothing happen. Any help will be appreciated.

I had a similar problem, and I found this response in an older Adobe forum post. Check it out.

Adobe Reader for mobile search result is INCORRECT.

Adobe Reader for mobile search result is INCORRECT. It is inconsistent with the search results from other PDF reader apps.
I have a spreadsheet file converted into a PDF. Doing a search on the document using a Adobe Reader on a PC shows 14 search results. Opening the same document on the Google Drive app also shows 14 search results. But when opening the same file to the Adobe Reader for Android, it only shows two results. (See screenshots (left/first is from Adobe Reader for Android)).
My device is an Xperia Z2 with Android 4.4.4.

Hello Mehwish,
It seems that Adobe Reader for mobile has issues only to this file. I have not thoroughly tested it with other PDF files though, but just this 1 out of the 5 files I have tried had issues. Attached herewith is the file I used the search with. Sent a copy to your email [email protected] too.
Note that the file was made from a spreadsheet in a PC and then saved as PDF from the same spreadsheet application.

How to rotate a text in the adobe reader for mobile ios ?

how to rotate a text in the adobe reader for mobile ios ?

There's no rotate command to rotate the document. Instead, rotate the iPad. If it doesn't rotate, turn off the Rotation Lock switch on the side of your iPad.

Adobe to ditch flash for mobile devices! A few questions

Just read the news. Have a few questions
1. Is AIR still going to be used for cross platform deployment as that is what I am using now ie: will it be used to deploy html5 apps/programmes?
2. What tool/IDE will adobe be using for html5 - flash? flex?
3. All of our multimedia swfs etc... - can they be exported/used in an html5 environment
4. html5 coding - is it similar to actionscript 3 ie: do we have to start all over again - back to school?
5. Games coded with actionscript 3. Can these games be exported to html5 or must they be rewritten?
Flash stays for pc it looks like.
So it is no longer multiplatform - we will have to code for flash on pc and html5 for mobile devices - is that right or will there be some kind of packager that will export our flash to html5
Just a few questions

I don't work for Adobe so my understanding may not be 100% accurate but here we go...
1. Is AIR still going to be used for cross platform deployment as that is what I am using now ie: will it be used to deploy html5 apps/programmes?
Adobe will be concentrating on developing AIR for packaging apps for mobile devices. AIR is ActionScript based and it does not produce HTML5 apps.
2. What tool/IDE will adobe be using for html5 - flash? flex?
HTML5 itself is just a flavour of HTML and therefore Dreamweaver is the Adobe tool for it For Javascript based timeline animation etc, Adobe has Edge http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/
3. All of our multimedia swfs etc... - can they be exported/used in an html5 environment
Adobe has Wallaby http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/wallaby/ for this - I'm not sure how active the development is lately though. In any case it's impossible to replicate all features of Flash in HTML5.
4. html5 coding - is it similar to actionscript 3 ie: do we have to start all over again - back to school?
Again HTML5 itself is just a simple set of HTML tags. JavaScript is very similar to ActionScript, as AS is based on JavaScript (ECMAScript). For example HTML5 Canvas drawing API is very similar to AS3 drawing API. Therefore if you know AS, at least you know the basics of JS syntax.
5. Games coded with actionscript 3. Can these games be exported to html5 or must they be rewritten?
If you want it to run on browsers, yes. If you want to convert into apps then AIR does that.

I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section).

I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section or IRS.gov or credit card statements). I have uninstalled Reader XI, cleaned and reinstalled. I have no problem right-clicking and downloading and then viewing the files. No problem viewing acrobat files. I'm runnnig Windows 7, IE9. I can acces them through Chrome.

RESOLVED
I found two suspect programs that were installed within the last 48-hrs that may have caused the problem
1) - Libre Office - latest update. This is a fork of Open Office. (unlikely)
2) - ManyCam video manipulation software (likely)
Following info here, I opted to try to open an Adobe PDF file that was on my hard drive. When I did, it refused and IE10 gave me an ActiveX error (AHA!!). When I checked the installation of ManyCam, it had installed a version of DirectX that may have over-written the resident versions or disabled them somehow.
I uninstalled ManyCam but left Libre Office's update in place, then I ran a system restore from a point 24-hrs before the installations.
This resolved the problem 100%.
So, the suggestion here is that there may be one or more program in the wild that is interupting the ActiveX or DirectX systems. They may be running or installing an older version. In this case it appears the handlers were broken.
Once the system restore had completed I was able to open Adobe PDF files within my IE10 browser from the Internet as well as open PDF files from my hard drive.
Note that this same issue also clearned up a problem I was having with the Comodo Dragon web browser, which is a fork of the Chrome project. Once I eliminated the suspect program and ran the system restore all was well. In the instance of the Comodo browser it was unable to open or reach anything - dead white screen below the menu bar.
So my suggestion would be to take an inventory of recent program installations, remove/uninstall them, run system restore from a date before the suspect programs were added, and see what happens. In my case that fixed the problem.

I have the latest version of Adobe Reader. However I cannot open a PDF document online. I was always able to do this on the particular website. What can I do please?

I cannot download itunes- it says service mobile device cannot start- what do I do?

I am unable to download the newest version of iTunes. I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall. Now it says that my Mobile Device cannot start- check to see if I have sufficent privlidges to access. What do I do? I cannot get itues to work on any of my computers.

I've run into several machines lately having this issue and the
"Runtime error Program: C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.exe R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the applications support team for more information"
error. Pretty much the troubleshooting steps everyone gives are correct, but I think they're missing some details.
Also these steps fix the apple mobile device service not starting during the itunes install.
From my recent experience do the following to resolve the issues.
1. Uninstall Itunes, Apple Mobil support, Bonjour, Apple Software updater.
2. In c:\program files and c:\program files(x86) make sure that all apple, itunes, and ipod related directories are deleted.
3. In c:\program files\common files and c:\program files(x86)\common files make sure all apple directories are gone.
Restart the computer and reinstall itunes.
Good luck!

Does CS5 have tools for creating websites for mobile devices?

Does DW CS5 have any built in tools for creating web pages for mobile devices, iPads, iPhones, etc?
Thanks.

This will go back to your other post about the CSS tables, it depends on how much you know. CSS3 is a style language and while support is growing in Dreamweaver and within browsers it is taking some time so the more you understand the code the better off you will be. With regards to HTML5 animations, you will find that no tool out there can do this easily outside of some Apple developer tools and if you are serious about programming to work with the iPhone/iPad you will want to sign up (registration is free) and download their developer tools. Adobe has mentioned making some strides and trying to use their existing tools (ie: Flash) to help transition to HTML5 animations from Flash and Illustrator has also gained some HTML5 vector tools to help out.
To find out more about what Adobe is doing for HTML5 there was a post made on John Nack's blog not too long ago that you might want to read over (and follow the links).
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2010/11/so-what-has-adobe-actually-done-for-html5-lately.html
Dreamweaver is not going to hand you everything though. To get the most out of it you have to put something into it. It is easily the most advanced tool in the PHP and ColdFusion realms (ASP/.NET goes to Visual Studio). But in order to do more and customize things to your needs, understanding the code is a must in the world of web design.

What is the correct Page Width for Mobile Device???

Hi All
Just have a question that "What is the correct Page Width for Mobile Device???"
Is the Default 380px width is right? or 320px?
Because the average smartphone is having resolution is 320X480 pixels...
also in this video http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/adobe-muse-designing-for-mobile-devices/ Dani Beaumont created the Mobile version website in 320px width (If you watch the video carefully you can notice the page width is 320px)
And if the default page width 380px taken, will it be displayed correctly on every smart phone (average & high end)?
please reply if you have any suggestions

HI. I have designed a mobile web site that is currently 450pixels wide. This is the first one I have done. When it displays on some mobile phones, the width of the entire page is scaled down and it only fills about 1/2 of the width of the mobile phone with a whole pile of mrgin to the right. Is this because I should have designed it to be 380 pixes wide or have I done something else wrong. The test site is at:

Creating a site for mobile devices

Good morning,
I have a number of questions relating to the creation of a
site for mobile devices. My client has given me the assignment to
re-design his current website, and to also create a sub-site
suitable for mobiles. I have spent a number of hours looking around
on the Internet and trying to gain a better understanding of these
issues. Still, a number of questions remain. if you can give me any
additional understanding, that would be great.
Question 1:
Is my understanding correct: I basically need to create two
sites, one for the wide-screen browser, and one for the mobile
browser? I can direct visitors to the mobile site using a CSS or
javascript link - if their browser identifies them as a mobile
browser?
Question 2
Mobile devices come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and
versions. PDA\s and iPhone's have different screensizes and
resolutions that smart--phones, which in turn are different again
from older and simpler phones. Should I design a site for a number
of different types of phones? That would a huge amount of work...
Question 3
I also own Device Central, an App which I should think is
very useful in this situation. But I fail to understand it! OK, so
I can see what my photo or website or flash file looks like on my
Nokia N73 - but I am not designing specifically for that phone. I
also want my design to look good on all the other phones! My client
needs a website that is not tailored to one phone, but to all
phones.
Question 4
And why does Device Central not have profiles for the iPhone?
I would think it is popular enough to warrant its own profile... (I
post this from the Netherlands, where the iPhone is not carried
yet, and so I have only ever held one in my hand). Is this because
the iphone can see regular sites just fine?
Question 5
How does Dreamweaver help me build a mobile site?
Question 6
My client wants to show video on his website. In fact, that's
what this website is all about: showing sports-videos from high
profile sporting events. Which video-formats are most suitable?
Question 7
Do all mobile phones support flash? Or only a few? Or none?
It seems to me that a flash website would allow for more creativity
in the design.
Thanks for any help you can give. Any resources you could
point me to are also very welcome...
Sincerely,
Rogier Bos
Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Creation of a database engine for mobile devices using j2me

am trying to develop a database engine for mobile devices.. it is to develop a miniature version of the DBMS that
can be deployed on a mobile phone..I have to develop my own code for performing tasks such a s creating a table,
inserting values into it, selecting from it etc..
I limited my self to develop the software so that it can perform 3 functionalities of create, insert,select..
I should be taking the details such as table name and its parameters from the user and then should be able to
create a suitable data structure for it(i tried to develop a class)...
Usage of RMS package helps me partially in this.. I did that and ll be doing that..
I got stuck while developing the code for creation of a table.. I am facing problems in creating a dynamic data
structure for a table and also to use such data structure else where in my project..
I need help in developing an algorithm for this..
I would be very grateful to u all if u help me out in developing the code for this project..

I'm sorry for the amount of time it took me to get back. Derby is an open source database written entirely in Java. I do not know if it can support resource constrained devices like MIDP compliant, but may work okay with CLDC.
But outside of Derby being a solution, let me give you a few ideas off the top of my head.
Set up a database server in a separate thread. This server will really be your controller for RMS access.
Since RMS is just a big sequential 'pipe' you will have to think of data as 'frames' - (starttable) (tableID) (tablename) (data) (tablename) (data).....(endtable).
When you need to write additional data, just append it to the end of the RMS object.
When you need to retrieve data, thing are more complex.
1. Read in all data, looking for your particular tableID. This may be made much easier using RMS filters - (I'm not sure, I've never used them)
2. Once start of table of interest is found, stick the data elements in either a java vector or array until you reach the table end identifier. I think vector will be a better choice - trust me. (I think its available in J2ME...)
3. Package this into a do while loop until the element you are searching for is read. If you need to do some sorts on the data or something else that requires the all the data to be present then you need all the data for that particular table. One thing will always be clear. The first data you grab will always be some start table identifier and the last data you grab will be an end table identifier. We just don't know which table because of how we put stuff in the RMS resource.
This provides you a few positives as well as negatives:
Positive:
1. Fast data writes, no need to search for a particular table before accessing it, nor do you need to search for an index in that table.
2. When looking for data, data may* be found without searching through the entire table. This is accomplished with RMS filters or logic test within the RMS read loop.
Negative:
1. Slow when all data of a table is needed (i.e. compute sums or averages of entries). The entire RMS database must be read to ensure all the entries are searched. An example of how this is a problem is as follows: You have 5000 entries in you RMS database resource and you are looking to compute the average of a value in some table. When you first wrote the data to the table, it was done sequentially and no other data for that table exist. But we can't tell if that's the case, so we have to read through all 5000 entries to make sure we looked for every piece of data.
Beacuse of this issue, this database structure, performance may be fine for 50K - 100K entries (depending on table element size), if the reading requirements don't force full data reads. Otherwise, 25K may be an upper limit.
I hope this helps.
